We’ve been doing this for a long time -
Black Dogs' evolution began years ago as a small father/son team buying/selling Toyota Land Cruisers of all makes and models. We spent so much time driving & repairing them that we eventually began to restore them from the ground up. EST. in 2014 our mission is to build nothing but the WORLDS BEST classic Land Cruiser updated with modern comforts.
